Re: [L-I] Quote from President Chavez...

Do you have a source for this, preferably in the original Spanish. The English version given here could not be found in a web search on "people are the tide".

I strongly urge people to give usable sources for all quotes, including URLs where possible.

If we disappoint it, if we do not help it to organise itself, if the people do not develop a conscious historical orientation-- we are also lost.²  (Hugo Chávez, April 19, 1999)
